OutAct Inc.

OutAct Inc. was an independent game developer founded in 2014, focused on mobile strategy games, tactical role-playing games and online multiplayer systems. Established by developers with backgrounds at Tencent Boston and Iron Lore Entertainment, the company brought experience in game design, multiplayer engineering and production to its mobile projects. It operated across Massachusetts and Xiamen, China.

The studio’s work combined tactical preparation with active battlefield decisions. Its capabilities included mobile client development for iOS and Android, server engineering, multiplayer architecture, proprietary tools and live operations. Game balancing and analytics also formed part of its development and operational work.

Games and development

Its flagship production, Wartide: Heroes of Atlantis, was a fantasy tactical hero-battling RPG released in late 2016 and published in 2017. Players arranged armies before combat, then used real-time abilities during battles. Alliance-based multiplayer warfare extended the game beyond individual encounters.

OutAct followed with Brave Order in 2019, an elemental strategy battle game built around unit collection and battlefield arenas containing hundreds of units. Its portfolio also included Matching Town, a casual match-3 puzzle and city-renovation game, showing a broader range than its strategy-focused releases.

The company explored additional concepts, including MegaMech and Grand Legions. These remained unreleased projects rather than commercial releases; the Grand Legions trademark application was abandoned in June 2020.

Company history

The business was founded in 2014 and incorporated in Delaware in 2015. Its development history reflects a small studio applying established game-industry experience to mobile and online games. Key executive and creative staff departed between 2018 and 2020, and the supplied research describes active development as having ceased by late 2019–2020. The company subsequently remained dormant.
